NEWARK, March 26.--On Monday last
the engineer in charge of the building of
the Orange Gross -Town and Orange VAL
ley Horse RaillUrd Company started to
cross the tracks of tn Orange branch of
the Greenwood Lake Railroad at Washing
ton street and had taken up the planking
when the superintendent of construction
of the latter road appeared and stopped
the work. He refused to allow it to pro-
coed without orders from the general
superintendent of the road, replaced the
planking and kept the men away. Appli-
cation to the officials of the New York and
Greenwood Lake Railroad Company for
permission was met by refusal unless the
street car company would sign an agree
ment to keep perpetual Waterman at
the crossing day and night. The PROPOSE
ton was considered, and it was at last
decided to go ahead without permits
sion. AT about half-past IL last night ca
gineer Edward Noble, Jr., with
gang of fifteen men appeared on the
scene with F. M. Eppley, the president
of the road, and after a careful survey of
the ground, stationed lookouts at either
side to give timely warning of trouble,
and then tore up the plankinq, made the

ing. No opposition was offered by the
railroad company, and the horse-car peo-
pie were scrupulously careful not to inter
fere with the track of the Greenwood Lake
road
AT $50 this morning the section boss
and six men of the Greenwood Lake road
appeared at the scene and destroyed the
tracks of the horse-car company, removing
1t entirely and restoring the track to the
same condition that it was In last night.
No opposition to this was made, the posi-
ton OF the street-car company being that
their track having been completed, the act
of the Greenwood Lake official constituted
trespass, which would have to be decided
by the courts.

The SUNDAY MORNING News has warm
" urged the Communication of the sentence
Of Titus, the confessed murderer of Tile
Smith. We urged it because we did not
believe that the evidence upon which he
was convicted showed mis- connection with
sufficient clearness and strength to justify
his hanging. If subsequent events had
proven him guiltless, the community
would have felt much more comfortably
to have lad him 10 states prison
Instead of in the grave. 1t was
this view that persuaded tho hundreds
of citizens who signed his petit
tion for communication, to put their names
to it. When Titus went before the Court
of Pardons and boldly declared that it was
he who had done the murder, all doubt
was removed, and the reasons for the exer-
else Of clemency was destroyed. As there
no longer existed any doubt of his guilt,
there no ltn9er existed reason for interior
ence to gave him. For the man who did

ind when Titus confessed that be was the

parody on justice the more extravagant, we
are told that his confession, which should

indicated that the girl who was the victim
of his violence had been outraged before
being slair. The Court accepted the word

make some Improvements that will make
the theatre even more attractive than it is !;

We observe that lover Updyke backs his
word with his affidavit. The man who
swears falsely in judicial proceeding COM
mits perjury. But the law attaches none
of the penalties for perjury to an oath
taken for mere public alton in newspaper.
His affidavit is without value therefore as
support to his simple statement. 1t adds
nothing to his credibility. If he was free
to lie in his first statements, he was as free
to swear to it. We think we can afford to
put our single word against his backed
even by his affidavit Every reader of this
paper knows that we are fearless in the
discharge of our duty to the public. No
friend of ours will believe that we can be
frightened or driven or bought into doing
anything that does not commend itself to
our conscience. For our enemies we don't
care flip of our finger. They can believe
whatever their malice prompts them to be-
lieye.

We observe that bill designed to make
the Martin Bill enforcible in this City on
the application of 100 freeholders to the
Circuit Court is on its way through the
Legislature. We have not seen the act
but suppose that it leaves the matter of its
enforcement here to the discretion of the
Court-that is, that the Court is not to be
obliged, We suppose, to make an order
enforcing the act here against its judgment.
We do not believe that Judge Knapp, on
being made acquainted with the bearing
the act must have on litigated assessment
cases would make such an order; but
then, why not leave the matter in the
hands of the Board of Finance? They
know what can safely be done in the
matter Of back taxes better even than
Judge Knapp; and they are the men who
should be entrusted with the duty of
compelling.the payment of the arrearages.
A bill of that purport is now pending in
the Houses and every Hudson Assembly
man should give it his warm and hearty
support.

The journal growls at senator Edwards
for saying that there is less election cor
ruption in Hudson County than in almost
any other part of the State. The Journal
therein displayed its own woeful ignorance.
Senator Edwards knew what he was talking
about. The Journal didn't. That's the
differ ence between the Journal and Senator
Edwards, and it is the usual diff ference
between the journal and anybody else.
The fact is that in some-many-par of
the State the bribery Of voters is pursued
systematically; and that there is regularly
constituted machinery to see that the
work is done thoroughly and efficiently.
In Middlessx this is VIGOROUSLY So Men
picket the approaches to the polls there
with money in their fists In some other
places, cards that are worth from two
dollars up are given to the voters; and they
are cashed on presentation at the proper
Offices. Such system of corruption would
arouse the widest indignation here If
there is any bribery of voters here, it is
very secretly and very Giscreetly carried
on.

to be introduced personally to the scene by wit
ness whom he is cross-examining. This happened
Yesterday during the progress Of the libel action
brought by DR.. Pankhurst against Col. Hamilton.
The defendant was In the box, and being chal-
lenged by Sir Charles Russell, who was cross
examining him on behalf OF the plaintiff as to
whether he had ever been told that Dr. Pankhurst
was an Atheist, declared amid much merr1ment.
In which the learned judge joined, that it was Sir
Charles himself who was his informant. Where
upon counsel became extremely angry, and pro-
posed to stake his wig of and go into the box In
order to give an absolute contradiction to the
statement; and very pretty little scene ensued,
during the progress OF which many harsh terms
were used.

years ago the late Sergeant Ballantine asked q
